Here are a few more pictures from December.

 Thomas approved

 Really warm December

 Here is the rock that Bennett stuck up his nose.  I tried tweezers to get it out, it didn't work.  I had to hold one nostril closed and blow into his mouth.  Took 4 hard blows to get it out.  The rock is bigger than his nose...

 Chelsea, all day, every day.  Zio Andrew is super proud.

Christmas 2017

Our Christmas started on Christmas Eve with Scott reading the boys "The Night Before Christmas." They were so into it.  All day long Gabriel kept saying, "I can't believe Santa comes tonight" and "I'm going to hear Santa's sleigh and wake Bennett so we can see him."  It was pretty cute.

After the story and the boys were sent to bed, it was time to get to work assembling the goodies.  I'm not sure why Scott and I wait until the night before to do all wrapping and assembling, but it only took an hour this year (record time).

We made the boys stay upstairs when they woke up.  I did not want them rushing down and opening everything.  And since Thomas woke up at 5:15 and the big boys at 5:30, it was a little easier to contain them.

We had a great Christmas with family and friends and even an 18 hour long fire in the fireplace.  Oh and lets not forget, the white Christmas!

And that's a wrap on Christmas 2017.

Snow Day

It actually snowed before Christmas!  We rarely have a White Christmas, but wow did we luck out in our first Christmas in our new house.  I have to say, our house looks awesome with the snow out front.  

The boys loved playing in the snow as well.  We built a snowman, rather small, but snowman none the less.  We made snow angels and had snowball fights.  It was a fun 45 minutes of playing.  

Probably Becca's first real snow
